reggie 00 · 12-10-2006, 10:55 AM

SO what will it be this time Boys & Girls??

Heard a rumor Tofer was going to set up a snow run.

Tofer · 12-12-2006, 08:33 PM

i am out of town for most of jan.. i am trying to make a run for feb to go snow wheelin and camping

marko3xl3 · 12-12-2006, 08:35 PM

so we need something to do for jan? i still suggest something snowy and cold. like something around tahoe. maybe that's a bad idea. just discuss.

JEDI87 · 12-12-2006, 08:50 PM

I am in Tahoe everyday for work and will make this trip, if it's something my 87 will make it through. Barker pass off of the Rubicon is a great trail but I'm not sure if it'll be open then.

Tofer · 12-12-2006, 08:55 PM

steve and i are thinking of exploring some of the firebreaks and forest service roads just west of Stonyford CA... click here and move west just a lil http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...m=1&iwloc=addr i think the plan is for the 9,10,11 weekend in feb.

gents,

paddlenbike (ken) pm'd me the other day and asked "what's next?" i said we should do something next year, possibly another trip that is as centrally located as can be to the so cal and no cal crowds. ken suggested anza. anza is in SD for those of you who dont know. while i'd like to go, are there other options in central, CA?

Just putting up a notice...Reggie suggested a trail in central CA. There is a thread on it now, look it up and see what you think because I really like the idea of a SoCal/NorCal unison run.

If anyone has any more info on trails in Central Cali, shout out because it seems like some you just get to and then there is a gate midway. Would be nice to avoid that

I'll look into it tomorrow...Hungry Valley too, thanks for the idea.

we have winter fun fest coming up in jan (i'll get a date for it) at greenhorn , it has miles of trails and usally there are 50-75 trucks out there. We just took a nice 20 mile ride from 2500ft up to 6000ft with lots of snow and mud (a stock 89 4 runner with 31 muds made it) there is a little something for everyone stock to full on rock crawlers- chris

50-75 rigs would drive me crazy.
the 20 mile run up to the snow sounds good, how long did it take?
any others like it?
anything to make a full day, without to much carnage? possibly a trail then lunch somewhere on the way then another trail or two?
like to go out for the peace and quiet, and hanging with friends.

norcalsvx · 12-14-2006, 08:29 AM

the 20 mile run took about 45min or so but there are trails everywhere here is a link to the funfest

So what will January bring. Any ideas guys?
We have a vote for snow, but we will obviously need one of you resouceful snowbound people to run with it and plan out a decent day. any takers??

Any other ideas if nothing pans out up north?

common i looking for something good, i hope to be lifted and locked at least in the rear by first week of Jan.

I've never been snow-wheeling before, I'd like to try it out.

I have no suggestions except for somewhere... uh... in the Sierras...

BTW-- Im in Fresno right now, but, moving back to Santa Cruz... so Im not really in SD like my location suggests.
